Desir-aster Turns to Happily Ever After

August 6, 2013 · In: ROMANCE, Uncategorized

IMG_0298

Oh Bachelorette Desiree, you are so incredibly lucky. It took only one quick television episode season for you to break your destructive love patterns. Many people NEVER do! She finally realized that it was a good idea to stop chasing the wet-noodle Brookses of the world and see the value of the solid Chrises. How many times did you have to date and be hurt by (or lose interest in) the same type of person until you saw the pattern and broke it? Do you think the producers coached that outta her or what? Where were MY producers???

Didn’t it feel like you were watching a different show last night-as in Desiree was a completely different person? She had feelings and wasn’t constantly deferring to her “cue-card-esque” monologue about each guy (except for one short clip). She had a personality, conviction and opinions. Love it.

So the biggest stomach twister for my Chris and I watching last night was, “How is Desiree going to explain her thought process about choosing Chris after she spent days (maybe weeks) crying over Brooks and telling Brooks she loved him?” Well, I was satisfied with how she addressed it. She really did finally understand that she deserved love. She was ready for mature love and I felt that her relationship with Drew was too superficial. It made sense when after the Brooks incident, she was unable to connect to Drew-Drew just wasn’t on that level with her. Poor guy. NOT. Drew will be fine! Those great looks, sweet attitude and love for his handicapped sister make him pretty much perfect. Maybe Neil Lane will help him with a ring down the line.

Alright…now how about the NEW Bachelor, Jaun Pablo? Juan Pablo Galavis Announced As New ‘Bachelor’ For Season 18 In the After The Rose Special, reports Huff Post TV. Is he going to find a mother for his beloved daughter Camilla? We all had a feeling it was going to be him. I loved how he sincerely asked Desiree in the ‘Guys Tell All’ episode why she never took him on a one-on-one date. That sealed the deal for me-he is real and he was trying. Sorry, Juan Pablo for Desiree making you just a Venezuelan boy-toy. Next season on The Bachelor, you’re going to be more than a sexy piece of former pro-soccer swagger with an accent that un-does buttons. Promise.

(check out those GORGEOUS flowers Steph and Isaac picked up for us at the Fremont Farmers Market last weekend in Seattle. LOVE the dahlias.)

After I finished breastfeeding our fourth baby, th After I finished breastfeeding our fourth baby, the varicose vein on my thigh was becoming really prominent.

It looked so bad but wasn’t sure if it was just cosmetic thing or something I should get checked out for my health.

I was avoiding it and “waiting until I had time” to deal with it as a mom of 4.

I finally made time and l’m so glad I did.

This was the start of my health journey at 45.

This makes our weekdays so much less chaotic, and I don’t feel like a scullery maid-I feel like I have a personal chef!

I get to focus my time and energy on connecting with the kids or taking a moment to rest. 

Throw these together really quickly this weekend for a smooth week. 

The mini meat loafies are a quick snack, packable lunch item or dinner main.

The turkey taco meat is so quick and you can make so many different dishes with it. 

PS it’s been a staple food in my health journey.

I like to cook my veggies day-of or have some washed and prepped in containers.

Have you considered a “pattern interrupt” element Have you considered a “pattern interrupt” element to design your space and make it stand out?

A design element that just doesn’t make total sense but adds the zest to the room that just makes it?

But why is it so hard to figure out the exact thing that will make your space special?

You’re an emotional decorator! You’re someone who walks into a room and knows she loves it but can’t explain why.

I’m here to help!

Part II of Translating what we love about this space-Nancy Meyers edition!

This iconic kitchen from It’s Complicated, is so funny because Jane is in the works to finally renovate to get her DREAM KITCHEN and we would all love to have this one as it is right now!

Why? 

Notice that there are layers of detail from floor to ceiling and even ceiling!

If you want your home decor to feel cozy, there’s nothing like decorating every surface.

Keep it neutral if too much business overwhelms you.
When I spotted this window shelf in the movie, I thought it would be the perfect way to add some interest to our very boxy dining room-my pattern interrupt.

What do you think?

All the moms at the mommy and me meetup looked so All the moms at the mommy and me meetup looked so amazing. I wondered what their secret was.

When was I going to bounce back like that?

Everyone was being vulnerable so when it was my turn I said, “I still can’t fit into my old jeans.”

One of the moms looked at me and said, “I just bought new jeans.”

I was shocked! She looked amazing!

I thought that if I bought jeans for my current “larger size” as in “not my ideal size,” it would mean I was settling for my current state that I didn’t want.

Then it hit me.

When you see yourself as worthy and do things that make you feel great-like new clothes that fit, your mind does something you’re not even aware of.

when your brain says, “I look cute” then you’re just going to continue to look better on a subconscious level. 

Why?

Your self image improves and when it does, you do things in alignment with a good self image like eating better or moving more or learning how to do your hair at its best!

Want to know exactly how I convinced myself that I was a healthy person and lost 25 pounds at 45 years old after 6 pregnancies and 4 kids?
